AT&T's version of the HTC One X looks to be getting an over-the-air update to Android 4.0.4 for a select few users today, and if the rumors are true, some hackers will want to skip this one. There's no official change log posted from HTC or AT&T just yet, but some are saying that a big part of this one is security fixes that block known root exploits. In addition, there is now a setting to remove the menu button "bar" for apps that haven't been brought up to current Android standards. Users can now long-press the multitasking button for a pop-up menu. We're pretty sure the rest of the One series from HTC will be seeing a similar update soon. We've gone into the whole menu button thing in-depth, have a look here to read it.

What we do know is that it's build number 2.20, and a version bump to Android 4.0.4 -- something any Android fan would want, right? Not so fast -- security enhancements, a standard bullet-point in most every OTA, often fix exploits that are used to get root access. Since HTC and AT&T don't offer bootloader unlocking on this particular One X, that's the only way to get some root on.

If you're not worried about root, be happy that you're getting an OTA that probably fixes something and makes something better. If you are worried about root, or rooted now, hold off and wait for word from the hackers who focus on the AT&T One X for further instruction. In either case, the AT&T One X forums are the best place to find more info.

Wifi issue can't be fixed via update it is an Hardware issue. Like it is stated almost everywhere. Same with my one x. But if u push it on the right spot u will have great Wifi. Problem is that the Wifi Platine is on the housing in the inside and the connector part is on the motherboard part and because of that is that the housing and screen part have to be like exactly tight together and if they r just having a little air in the back the Wifi is screwed up. If u push ur screen and back part below the camera with ur whole finger across from right to left between the camera and htc logo ur Wifi will pick up. U have to squeeze the screen too. Sucks I tell ya.

Apparently my wifi issue is different, as since the update last night, I had no issues at all, with identical usage. Also, last Saturday, an AT&T tech had me power down and remove the SIM, and then replace SIM and power up, and I was fine until Monday when I accessed Mobile Data, and then my Wifi started acting up again.

So today will be the test of the update as I'll use Mobile data today, and then see how Wifi works at home tonight.

Squeezing my phone, etc, doesn't have any effect on my issue. If I have Wifi Analyzer open, the signal strength is solid throughout, but the connection cycles off and on repeatedly. Again, this was before I got the update yesterday. We'll see how it does tonight when I get home.

Not necessarily. Also the Evo LTE is just a One X but with a better case, SD card, camera button, kickstand, larger battery, etc, it is still a different carrier. And carriers can greatly interfere with software update release schedules. It will likely come, but who knows when it will happen.

They have never said "there will be no fix", although they have said it is working as they intended. But perhaps their intentions do not match what users want. I encourage EVERYONE who is not happy with the multitasking/task management/memory management on the HTC One X and the HTC Evo LTE to complain to HTC here: http://www.htc.com/us/support/email-support

"It's here now, at least on the AT&T One X. Filed under Settings > Display, gestures and buttons is an entry where users can choose how they want the multi-tasking button to work. It can work as normal, or have a second function if you long-press"

Why is that stupid? Why would AT&T want many thousands of people to each have to download up to hundreds of megabytes each while "on the go"? The more bandwidth lost to low-priority things like system updates, the worse the mobile experience for everyone.
